>I'm gonna buy it because I know millions of retards will anyway
And this is exactly why the boycott will fail. You could at least WAIT to see if it fails. You can buy a used copy. You might not even have to actually boycott it if you want to see change but really need your fix on day one. Even threatening to not buy it can be enough to get TPC/GF scrambling to fix the problem.

>Even when boycotts don’t make a dent in sales, the risk to a company’s reputation can present an even more perilous threat to their long-term future, said Brayden King of Northwestern University’s Institue for Policy Research.
>If enough negative press is generated from a boycott, it can lead to a drop in stock prices, ultimately resulting in a corporate about-face intended to minimize the damage.
